Beacon Mode
With DIP switch SW3 (5) the mode of the LF location beacon can be set to passive or active.
Figure 244. Beacon Mode DIP switch settings
Note: Setting the beacon mode to “Active” will automatically set the most significant bit
(bit 11) of NILF ID, therefore the ID range for active location beacons will be from 800 to
FFF,
see “NILF ID” on page 180
.
Passive Location Beacon
Wireless devices that enter the LF field of a passive location beacon will receive a location update
message that is stored locally by the wireless device as the last known location. When a call is made the
last known location will be added to the message for linking and messaging.
Active Location Beacon
Wireless devices that enter the LF field of an active location beacon will be triggered to send out the
location update message directly to the wireless server whenever the wireless device enters or leaves an
LF field. Depending on the system configuration the location update messages can be used for access
control, wanderer control and automatic location updates when moving from one active location to the
other.
